Mission The IUPAC Committee on Chemistry and Industry (COCI) is the focus within IUPAC for issues of importance to the global chemical industry. COCI is developing new programs and projects on emerging topics. It is also a conduit for communications between IUPAC and National Adhering Organizations (NAOs), Company Associates (CAs), and individual scientists.
This is a core activity in the area in which IUPAC is recognized as the world authority on chemical nomenclature, terminology, standardized methods for measurements, atomic weights, etc. Since January 2002, this Committee supersedes the Inter-divisional Committee on Nomenclature and Symbols (IDCNS).

Pure and Applied Chemistry (PAC), is the official journal of IUPAC. It is published monthly and contains recommendations and reports, and lectures from symposia.
This subcommittee was the successor to JCAMP-DX, the Joint Committee on Atomic and Molecular Physical data and the group Data eXchange. It was terminated as a separate committee in July 2016 and the standards for which it was responsible are now under the purvue of the CPCDS Subcommittee on Cheminformatics Data Standards.
CCE attempts to coordinate the educational interests of IUPAC bodies with activities throughout the world. CCE current priorities are: To develop relationships for working collaboratively with groups both inside and outside of IUPAC; To support projects and initiatives that promote and disseminate evidence-based teaching practices and innovations for high-quality chemistry education; To support both formal[...]
